1945 held at Cleveland, Ohio.
Champion – Jax Maids, New Orleans, Louisiana
Runner Up – Crofton AC, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Jax Maids (went 5-0, giving up 0 runs and only 6 total hits, they didn’t give up a hit until the third game.) Hitting stars in the Championship game were Dot Pitts and Dot Walker (both with 2 RBIs), Freda and Olympia Savona (both with 2 hits).
Once again, the Jax Maids played games against Men’s teams, so their overall record is no indication of their talent. (They were 7-11 vs Men’s teams), and these were not counted in the team’s record listed above, if so, they would be 22-3.
The Savona sisters, Freda and Olympia were both 2-4 in the final game, accounting for 3 of the 5 runs. Olympia Savona was 6-11 with 3 Runs scored, 2 RBIs, 3 Doubles in the 3 games that had box scores. 2 games are unaccounted for.
